About Satori (Masatoshi Takeshita’s Lecture Series on Religion: No. 1)

－ What does matter is true love and happiness, not religions. Master Takeshita’s lecture series on
religion publicizes information on the original, never-told (i.e. “esoteric”) cosmic truth.

Let’s suppose you’ve got Satori. What changes will take place in life and how different things will look to you?
Often, Satori has been explained as a psychological event from the individual’s perspective. By contrast, this
lecture will show you: To evaluate each Satori properly, you actually need to capture the bigger picture of the
spiritual world as well as the well-being and happiness of whole humanity.

1. What Is the “Satori”? (0:00～00:17:16)

Are you interested to figure out what the “Satori” is? Then, you actually need to see through the happiness
of humanity as a whole and get this big picture stuff: What the spiritual world is all about?

Now, can you at the present moment answer these questions?

Satori is only available to what they call the elites (so those who’ve got Satori are great) ?

Is there any difference with the Satori they’ve got individually, or in its depth?

To have got Satori and to evolve spiritually are the same (or not) ?

2. Satori and Spiritual Evolution (00:17:16 ～00:31:36)

So besides Satori, you need to look at different “levels (stages) of spiritual evolution”. From the
viewpoint of spiritual science, there is actually a great difference between the majority of humanity and
personages like Caesar or Buddha. Their spiritual capacity differs with the level of spiritual evolution;
their influence over the society also differs accordingly.

So, how is the evolution of human spirit to be explained (defined)?

Can you make out what is the difference between the ways of life leading, and not leading, to higher levels of spiritual evolution?

The truth of the matter is, such different levels of evolution are reflected in the spectrum of social
classes (quasi-“caste” hierarchy). Yet, to recognize social statuses is one thing, to allow for injustice or
wealth extraction by the hierarchy is totally another. You will see that, based on the big picture of the
spirit worlds where light and darkness have been struggling eternally.

This is a very good way to get a true picture of what society and religion are like in your life
environment. With this picture given by spiritual science, you will also notice how to live a truly happy
life.

3. The Picture of Men of Religion (00:31:37～00:45:50)

4. The Story of Buddha’s Enlightenment

The reason of his birth into this world

What difference between Buddha and ordinary men of religion!

5. The Level of Spiritual Evolution − the Case of Yogic Master Babaji

Self-realization of Babaji as spiritual teacher for those at the stage 4 (“nirvana”) and above.

The case of Ramalinga Swamigal.

Some prayers are granted, some are not, according to the level of evolution. (difference between Buddha and Babaji)

6. Group of Light, Group of Darkness, and the Majority of Humanity in Between

The 7 worlds and the evolutionary stages under an esoteric (theosophical) understanding.

-- Exposition of the dark world, the light world, and the middle world (diagram).

Whereabouts in the scale of evolution are the Dark world dwellers dominating the material world?

If you serve demons, you prosper in the material world.

The God of Christianity and the God of Islam are the same God. Who is He?

Why has this world been dominated by the Darkness? What does the group of Light aim at?

This time, we deliver the first lecture in our Selection Trilogy on Spiritual/Religious Life from the year 2002.
Delivery for the next time: Karma Yoga (this spring). For the time after next: Bhakti Yoga (planned for the
spring quarter).
Take this lecture together with the other two repeatedly. You will assimilate the way of life that makes all
people happy plus a vast and deep outlook about the spiritual world and religions that have never been taught on
earth before.

☆ In 2002 when this lecture was delivered, the events of “Reform of Heavenly World” (from 2007 to 2010), which
involved the destiny of Sanat Kumara, Meytreya, Babaji, and others, had not occurred yet. Accordingly, some part
of of the contents such as “seven realms or worlds” according to the theosophical understanding (recounted
during 01:13:09 to 01:30:49) remains to be updated. For the latest information on the System of Heavenly World,
please refer to the “System of Heavenly World” (1-10) (Nr.5 for Sanat Kumara, Nr.8 for Ramalinga Swamigal),
etc.
